I like this mood and the great focus on the mantis. I think I'd get rid of the red if it were mine, though. Great capture, Scott. ~Lydia

Very dramatic and menacing, Scott. And I'd always thought that mantises were such benign insects (to us humans, that is).

This looks scary Scott - like something out of "Alien"! The lighting and shallow DOF work well to create that mood. The colors are great and while I generally am not a fan of centered images, the red flower on the left creates the illusion that this isn't centered. Great macro! :-) CJ
